Angina, "Normal” Coronary Angiography, and Vascular Dysfunction
Chest pain may be associated with coronary arteries that appear “normal.” In this article, we discuss how to stratify risk in patients with chest pain and a normal coronary angiogram.
Statins in the Treatment of Chronic Heart Failure: A Systematic Review
The efficacy of statins in reducing morbidity and mortality in patients with documented coronary artery disease (CAD), or at risk of developing it, has been overwhelmingly and indisputably proven during the past decade.
National Trends in Statin Use by Coronary Heart Disease Risk Category
Using serial cross-sectional data from 1992 through 2002, we tracked trends in statin use in the United States during ambulatory visits categorized by CHD risk, with or without a diagnosis of hyperlipidemia.

Effect of Folic Acid Treatment in Coronary Artery Disease
Common vascular disease states including diabetes and atherosclerosis are associated with endothelial dysfunction, characterised by reduced bioactivity of nitric oxide (NO). Folates are thought to improve endothelial function,but the mechanism by which this effect occurs is poorly understood. We propose to study the effects of folate supplementation on endothelial function in patients with coronary artery disease.

Efficacy of the CMI Magnetocardiograph in Diagnosing Acute Coronary Syndromes in Patients Presenting With High Risk Unstable Angina
A magnetocardiograph (MCG) is a device capable of recording of magnetic fields arising from the electrical activity of the heart with traces similar to an electrocardiogram (ECG). This system was developed as a noninvasive, non-contact diagnostics of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), and especially of lack of oxygen in the heart as in a heart attack. The overall objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy of this MCG device for the detection and diagnosis of lack of oxygen of the heart in patients with chest pain.

Reduce Ventricular Pacing in Dual Chamber Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators Using AutoIntrinsic Conduction Search Study
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients implanted with a St. Jude Medical (SJM) implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) will benefit by using AutoIntrinsic Conduction Search (AICS) rather than only a programmed AV/PV delay. This study will compare the two methods of programming with respect to intrinsic activity.
